"A
lady picked up several items at a discount store. When she
finally got up to the checker, she learned that one of her items
had no price tag. Imagine her embarrassment when the checker
got on the intercom and boomed out for the entire store to
hear, ‘"PRICE CHECK ON LANE
THIRTEEN, TAMPAX, SUPER SIZE."
That was bad enough, but
somebody at the rear of the store apparently misunderstood the
word 'Tampax' for ‘THUMBTACKS.’ In
a businesslike tone, a voice boomed back over the
intercom: "DO YOU WANT THE KIND YOU
PUSH IN WITH YOUR THUMB OR THE KIND YOU POUND IN WITH A
HAMMER?"
